Authorities say they are acting in accordance with international law, while the remains of soldiers have shifted to a facility outside Kiev before being loaded on refrigerator trains pending transfer, Euronews writes.
The head of Ukraine's Civil-military Co-operation Department says that even though these transfers are part of the international protocol, the Kremlin has not appealed for troops to return.
Several hundred troops of Russian invaders are held here. There are several such train reserves in Ukraine's territory. They will be held here until a state-level decision is made to transfer these troops. The Ukrainian side is about to surrender tomorrow or even today. However, so far there has been no call from the Russian side for the seizure of these” troops, said Colonel Volodyr Lyamzin of the Ukrainian Army.
Moscow has allegedly ignored repeated bids for the return of the dead, while Ukrainian officials say Russia is more concerned with covering the rate of losses and is willing to abandon its troops.
According to Western estimates, the Russian Army has suffered more casualties in Ukraine in two and a half months than Soviet forces in Afghanistan during a decade of Soviet occupation in the 1980s.
On Friday, the Ukrainian Army estimated that the number of Russian victims was about 26 thousand and 900, while that figure has not yet been confirmed.
